Great meeting in spite of several not being able to make it. John VanBeek had a nice presentation about lubricants and Andy Lyford shared his experience with a lubricant that can cause rust! Liz missed out as she wanted to meet "Duie" who sat quietly &amp; well behaved throughout the entire meeting. ;-)

Everyone had a grand time at the National Convention in Norfolk, VA in July. We all learned so much we decided to each give a short presentation of what we learned at our September meeting.
